Gov. IRELAND's message was an
able state paper. The HERALD had
expected to publish it, but demand
on our type aud space last two days
for important local matter prevented,
until it has been published in full in
the morning dailies. The highest
praise which has been accorded it, is
IN the general approval and commen-
dation of its ability and wisdom by
those who are politically opposed TO
the Governor.

THE Stockmen's Convention, which
adjourned yestel day, appointed n
committee to consider and select a
place for the canning and reirigerat-
ing establishment, of which so much
has beon said. Dallas has duty to
perform and should awaken to the
realization ofthe situation. If Dallas
wants these important adjuncts she
must make up her mind TO pay for
them.

CITATION.

The State of Texas, Dallas County, to the
Sheri& or any Constable of Dallas County,
Greeting:
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1887-01-14

DALLAS must by all means secure
the rcfrigerating establishment, which
the State Live Stock Association de-
sire shall be state enterprise. This
is probably the first enterprise in
which there has been an actual and
sharp rivalr, between Dallas and Fort
Worth. Either city would be forum
ate in securing its location, and both
cities are likely to exors themselves TO
that end.

THE Gainesville Hesperian doesn't
qui approve the HERALD's express ID
opinion that in case an emergency
does occur Col. Olin Welborn would
be the strongest dark horse which
could be put on the track. The Hes
pcrian seems to object only on the
ground that Wellborn is n Dallas
man. But for all this, should dead
lock occur (Which is not likely in the
light of Ircland's growing strengtb)
Wellborn is just the key to unlock it.

A Highly Priced Delicacy

One of the most highly priced delica-
cies in the country is what is known as
the country ham. The hog is killed by
the old farmer and the ham and shoulders
cured and smoked in the old smoke house
in the old fashioned way. When properly
prepared a country ham will keep for
many years. l have often gone to a
country wedding OF anniversary of a
wedding, where the piece de resistance,
as the French say Of a bountiful spread,
has been ham of venerable age. l have
seen them cut when they were as old as
twenty years. OF course the ham is by
that time quite dry, like jerked venison
or dried buffalo tongue, but the meat is
very sweet and nutritious. When such a
ham is boiled, like a desiccated fruit, all
its pristine freshness and tenderness come
back, and the only difference between it
and a modern packed ham is that the
country ham is the etter.-Globe-Demo-

One of the most pathetic incidents of
the Exeter theatre fire was the rescue of
a woman, who was carried out of the
furnace of flame upon the back of a
brave man. He was with his wife at the
play when the FIRE broke out and sue
ceeded in dragging her part way to the
door, where she fell. There was an in
slant of despair and bewilderment, and
then he snatched a covering form from
the floor in the dense crowd and struggled
through the smoke and darkness to reach
the street with a shrieking woman on his
back. At last he was out of danger and
breathlessly lowered his burden. Alasl it
was not his wife. In the confusion and
darkness he had rescued stranger and
left his wife to be trampled to death in
the lobbies of the theatre. York

A Confederate Soldier's Life.

The life of soldier was made up, in
the main, by eating and sleeping, and
marching and fighting; but the first was
eating-when he could. In the pursuit
of this species of happiness his skill and
ingenuity knew no limit. The old time
southern negro was proverbial as thief
and noted for strict attention to business
and great fertility of resource in that
line, but the average southern soldier
could easily discount him at his favorite
pastime. Like the schoolboy, who robbed
a henroost at Christmas, he stole partly
for fun and partly for profit, but the
amino furandi, the furious intention,
as the lawyer rendered it, was lacking.
He reasoned about it as the negro did
who was caught stealing corn from his
masters crib: "Massa Niger, massa
corn" He was fighting for the people
who remained at home, and a contribu-
ton in kind, if not in money, was justly
his due: and SO he collected his taxes
himself as occasion offered, and without
formality of a receipt.-Cor. Philadelphia
Times,

The Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love; but he is also nightly excita-
BILE and easily won. An Arab sees a girl
bearing water or brushwood; and in a
moment, almost at glance, is as madly
in love as if he had passed years of court
ship. He thinks of nothing else, cares
and dreams of nothing else but the girl
he loves; and not infrequently, if he is
disappointed in his affections, he pines
and dies. In order to commence his suit
he sends for member of the girls tribe
who has access to the harem; and, first
insuring his secrecy by solemn oath,
confesses his love and entreats his conf
dant to arrange an interview.
The confidan goes to the Girl c'ves
her a flower or a b,aue of grass, and
says: ''Swear by Him who made this
flower and us also, that you will not re-
veal to any one that which am about
TO unfold to YOU" If the girl will not
accept the proposal she will not take the
oath, but nevertheless keeps the matter
perfectly secret from all. If she is favor
ably disposed to the match, she answers:
Il swear by Him who made the flower
you hold, and us, !" and the place and
time of meeting are settled. These oaths
are never broken. and it is not long be-
fore the ardent lover becomes the happy
husband. Philadelphia Call.

WORSHlPED AFFAIR.

Queen Hermentrude a garden made,
With bosky paths and pine tree shade
And orchard bloom and lawns displayed.
From banks of earliest celandine
Till grapes grew purple on the vine
Summer and spring their wreaths entwine.
In fair June mornings after mass,
Where rose leaves feck the dewy grass,
The queen and all her ladies pass.
And when the lengthening evenings fall,
And ere the dark the blackbirds call,
Her voice is sweetest of them all.
! am the crippled lad to watt
And summon forth the porter straight
Should aught assail the postern gate.
And once wild boar of the wood
With staff and shout sole withstood,
Until my fellows aim was good.
And remember how she smiled,
And spake like music meek and mild,
Thou hast a warriors soul, my child.
Yesl could stand, though death was near,
To spare my lady's cheek tear,
Or save one thing she holdeth dear.

There is large number of drugs which
will depress the temperature when taken
internally. They differ widely among
themselves in action upon the organs and
tissues of the body, but have this one
point in common. Thus alcohol, when
taken in full doses, will lower the bodily
heat, even in health. The man who is
"dead drunk" freezes to death much
sooner than one who is sober, other things
being equal for this reason. Hence
Arctic explorers are compelled to abstain
from alcohol whenever severe cold is to
be endured, however much they may en-
joy the cheering influence of moderate
amount of it in their daily rations when
safe on shipboard. Advantage is taken
of this antipyretic effect of alcohol in the
treatment of exhausting diseases accom-
panied by a high temperature. Alcohol
aids the action of the heart, drives more
blood to the surface where the heat can
be lost by radiation and is true food in
such affections. 1t is actually burned in
the place of the foods that cannot be
digested and taken up, and in this way
prevents loss of substance which would
otherwise be consumed.
ton. otherwise there could be no increase
in the heat produced and materials for
this unnatural fire must be had. If not
taken in as food, the bodily tissues are
destroyed to keep up the combustion.
Alcohol is often the only food that can be
absorbed into the blood. Its value under
such circumstances cannot be overstated.
Alcohol given in disease as food or as
an antipyretic has never been known to
cause the alcohol habit. The latter arises
from the injudicious employment of it in
neuralgias, dyspepsia and chronic affec-
tons generally. Only the most urgent
need for prompt support justifies the use
of alcohol or opium in long continued
diseases. A pernicious habit is easily be.
gun in this manner, and the physician is
but too often the one to be blamed fol
such misfortune Democrat.

Everything connected with tobacco is
in France the strictest of monopolies. The
government is the only grocer. the only
dealer, the only buyer and importer, the
only manufacturer, the only merchant
and the only retailer. Its agents. with
unlimited capital, are heavy purchasers
in the open markets of every tobacco pro-
ducing country. The weed is shipped by
the cheapest methods; the manufacture,
although of the highest grade of excel
lence, and directed by board of scientific
chemists and others whose lives are de-
voted to the study of this one especial
plant, is so concentrated, and the whole
mercantile business so admirably man.

Onslaught on the stingray.

Day after day, and for hours at a time,
man sits on wharf at San Diego, CAL,
armed with four tined harpoon. At in
tervals the weapon leaves his hand, darts
into the water, and squirming stingray
is brought up. He never speaks to any
one, and does not encourage conversation
from others. Many years ago he was stung
by stingray, and was laid up for long
time. Since then all his time is devoted
